Kick my brain? And other notes.

[misscam]

Or more particulary, the part of my brain that does the writing. It's been a bit lazy of late. So, I was thinking - give me a line from one of *your* fanfics you'd like to see in a story of mine. (You will of course be credited with its use if I do use it.) It doesn't have to be from a fandom I write in, though if names are mentioned, it is of course more convenient if it is.

Alternatively, if you're not a fanfic writer, get a line from another source, like a book. Or invent something ;)

Never know what will spark something.

Blah blah work.

Meanwhile, the Israeli ambassador has managed to piss off Norwegian Jews by critizing the Norwegian Royal family for "not being supportive enough" after the shooting against the synagogue. They feel she has no right to speak for Norwegian Jews, which does go to show Israel ain't quite the same as Jews everywhere. Not to mention that going after the Royal family in Norway is always a bad, bad idea. They are generally beloved and Norwegians can get quite fiercly protective.

Man, there are days I think foreigners here need a 'Guide to Norwegians' style thing with everything that isn't in the official guidebooks. Like how asking a Norwegian what they believe is considered almost rude unless you know them well and even then it's a fairly personal question, the concept of "dugnad" (basically, people getting together and doing stuff for free for the benefit of others or society in general. A collective effort for the common good, as it were. It differs from volunteerism in that it's non-organisational and task-specific), why we have two languages (goes all the way back to the Black Death, that) and have given up on joining them, why you do not attack the Royal family and why we have a love-hate relationship with the US and the EU.

Be fun to write, really.

I wish Grey's Anatomy season two was out on DVD already in Europe. I WANT. WHINE WHINE. I've even given in and uploaded some icons. Stupid addictive show.

Finally, 'aww' over Fudge the hamster's story.

Heh, I had to look up 'garland'. So I learned something today too.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that makes it useful even if you don't use it! Hoorah!

'The world, she decided, had gone not just insane -she was used to insane -but loony; nevertheless, she was determined to sort it out.

This was probably more the result of posessiveness issues -the 'nobody messes with my boyfriend' one in particular -than any sort of noble, heroic ideal.'

Guidebooks

[mad-troll.livejournal.com]

Uh, as far as I know guidebooks to Oslo don't include anything of real interest..the only ones I've found listed shopping places and suchlike.
Those about Norway list mostly trekking ways and skying places. :(

Write one? Pretty pretty please? You said that it would be fun...

Icon love! They're my favorite couple on Grey's. Hehe. Not enough for OTP, but I like them. :D

"I knew that if he did touch me, he would only feel the wood of my police box disguise at first. Then he would be able to feel the power inside. He would realise he was touching something with a soul, something alive."

From my fic. Touch, which is the TARDIS' POV of the moment captured in this icon. If you want to use it, feel free to take it out of that POV. (Change the "me" and "my" to "it" or "her.")

You know I love your brain too much to kick it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Where's that from?

Re: Guidebooks

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh, perhaps. There's time issues to consider and all. But we'll see.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I suck at having OTPs, but they are definitely a preferred pairing. Much, much love.

My, we agree on a ship. Wonders never cease ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

TARDIS POV is quite challening, but in a good way. *pets the TARDIS*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It needs tough love.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You've been Educational.

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. ;)

[starsong24.livejournal.com]

A story of mine that I never posted anywhere. It didn't deal with a fandom based around a book or movie -though there was a fandom -and, as I didn't know where to put it, I just kept it for pleasure.

'Mists of the Star Mountains', possibly.

At the risk of being hypocritical... *kicks your muse*

Blah work, indeed.

I have come up with two for you, so far:
1. He can’t help but tense the muscles in his jaw, knowing this is an indulgence he can no longer allow himself. He should never have allowed it in the first place, but the stakes were not so high at first, and he’d been a more selfish man, then.


2. He closes his eyes as she kisses him, and knowing it must be the last time, he almost allows it to consume him. Finally, she rolls away from him, and both begin to silently gather their clothes.

They are from a Snape/Lily fic that will probably never be finished. Use one or both if the mood takes you. ;)

[ericasj.livejournal.com]

Hey, I used to be a fellow C/W shipper until the bastard got married. LMAO.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah, funky. Got me interested.

[falena]

Tough love is not my forte, I'm too much of a softie. But I shall think somehting up, all for your brain.

Meanwhile, after reading about 'dugnad', my love for your people has grwon considerably. Not to mention I now want to know more about these two languages of yours. Point me in the right direction, please?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, where's my fanfic? *kicks you back* :P

I remember that fic! You quoted bits at me.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah, but you were always more into the Grissom/Catherine idea, yes?

[melliyna.livejournal.com]

“It’s all about the dreams, Rose. You go out there and you start to think that you can create real dreams by mucking with time. It doesn’t do.”

And I'd be very interested to have a genuine Norwegian guidebook. I don't know much about Norway (although I am learning quite a lot about Slovakia, courtesy of having a Slovakian friend this semester) and it's always fun to learn about other countries.

[ericasj.livejournal.com]

Guilty. :P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

My brain will be pleased. Well, eventually.

Wiki gives an okay overview of nynorsk and bokmål. I can give more links when I get home - I did some research into it for someone who asked some time ago.
